New information is to be assessed <strong>and</strong>, where required<br />
Threatened Species Licence is reviewed <strong>and</strong> IFOA<br />
amended.<br />
Where new information on the distribution, population<br />
size or ecology <strong>of</strong> threatened flora <strong>and</strong> fauna suggests<br />
that the species allocation to a particular condition <strong>of</strong><br />
the Threatened Species Licence needs to be reviewed,<br />
NPWS <strong>and</strong> SFNSW will undertake such a review.<br />
Details the process to be followed when an important<br />
new record <strong>of</strong> a species in the area is found.<br />
Agencies to notify each other <strong>of</strong> any proposal to<br />
nominate for listing or delisting <strong>of</strong> any species,<br />
populations, ecological communities or key threatening<br />
processes. The IFOA provides a review process to<br />
deal with changes to threatened species schedules.<br />
Notify NPWS/SFNSW <strong>of</strong> listing <strong>and</strong> delisting <strong>of</strong><br />
threatened species, populations, etc., <strong>and</strong> review IFOA<br />
for changes to schedules on Threatened Species<br />
Licence.<br />
Review IFOA for changes to schedules on Threatened<br />
Species Licence.<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> a process for the assessment <strong>of</strong> new<br />
records <strong>of</strong> threatened species, populations <strong>and</strong><br />
ecological communities not already covered by<br />
licences, whereby the conservation requirements <strong>of</strong> the<br />
species are assessed.<br />
Additionally, where the application <strong>of</strong> TSL conditions results in 20% or more <strong>of</strong> the net logging area <strong>of</strong> a compartment being made<br />
unavailable because <strong>of</strong> exclusion zones, Forests NSW may request that PWG review the conditions.<br />
Implemented<br />
Refer to milestone above.<br />
Implemented<br />
A process was implemented in 1999–2000 that mirrors the one adopted for species newly listed in schedules <strong>of</strong> the Threatened<br />
Species Conservation Act 1995 (stipulated in condition 1.3 <strong>of</strong> Appendix B <strong>and</strong> Appendix C in the IFOA for the Southern region). A<br />
process is also in place for the review <strong>of</strong> certain fauna conditions <strong>of</strong> the TSLs, which includes the exchange <strong>and</strong> assessment <strong>of</strong> new<br />
information by DECC, Forests NSW <strong>and</strong>, where appropriate, independent experts. Recommendations from such reviews are provided<br />
to the relevant Ministers for approval as they arise.<br />
Implemented<br />
DECC has put in place a process for species requiring site-specific conditions that are listed in the Integrated Forestry Operations<br />
Approvals (IFOAs) (condition 1.2 <strong>of</strong> Appendix B in the IFOAs for the UNE, LNE <strong>and</strong> Eden regions, <strong>and</strong> condition 1.2 <strong>of</strong> Appendices B<br />
<strong>and</strong> C <strong>of</strong> the IFOA for the Southern region). IFOAs also have a non-licence condition that provides for taking new information into<br />
account (clause 49 <strong>of</strong> the IFOAs for the UNE, LNE <strong>and</strong> Eden regions <strong>and</strong> clause 64 for the Southern region).<br />
Implemented<br />
This Forests NSW process is included in provisions <strong>of</strong> the IFOAs. DECC notification occurs as required. DECC routinely notifies<br />
Forests NSW <strong>of</strong> preliminary <strong>and</strong> final determinations made by the Scientific Committee for the listing <strong>of</strong> species in schedules <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. DECC is not permitted to provide information on non-DECC proposals for listings or delistings<br />
until the Scientific Committee has made at least a preliminary determination.<br />

Refer to milestone above.<br />
Implemented<br />
Implemented by a process in the IFOAs covering species requiring site-specific conditions <strong>and</strong> proposed new listings in the<br />
Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (conditions 1.2 <strong>and</strong> 1.3 <strong>of</strong> the Threatened Species Licences in appendix B <strong>of</strong> the IFOA for<br />
the UNE, LNE <strong>and</strong> Eden regions <strong>and</strong> Appendices B <strong>and</strong> C in the IFOA for the Southern Region).<br />
